You can take a simple measurement of the 2-inch hitch on your 2014 Honda Pilot Touring to confirm that the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2-Inch Hitches # M2205-01-02 will fit properly. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of the vehicle; this is the amount of clearance you will need from any hitch-mount accessory such as the carpod carrier. This carrier provides 13-inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of carrier, which should be plenty for your Pilot. The linked article illustrates how to take this measurement.

You will also want to note the rated tongue weight capacity on your hitch's safety/warning sticker. The combined weight of the carrier itself (about 54-lbs) plus that of your loaded cargo cannot exceed the hitch or vehicle capacity. Even though the Carpod carrier can handle up to 450-lbs of loaded cargo, your hitch and vehicle may carry a lower rating. Check your owner's manual or with your local dealership to be certain. The lowest-rated item will determine the overall capacity of the system.

You will need either a standard hitch pin # PC3 or an anti-rattle lock # 63232 to secure the carrier in your receiver.
